Walks with the Snails: You know, this is what I love about the Codex. Most people ban the trolls. Here we give them enough rope to hang themselves with and then poke them with sticks.

Yes. They might be useful if you're playing with a bow or crossbow or some shit like that, but to Mr. Axe the gladiator the horse just gets in the way. Lots of things about the interface just piss me off too.

I TOTALLY SENT IN TWO ENTRIES THO! He's got a pony tail, he's wearing a dress, he's built like schwarzinator HOW COULD HE LOSE!?

Personally I'm not a big fan of the horse, but if you want to get around, the horse is the best tool for the job. Also, I've noticed that being on a horse speeds up my attacks as a Seraphim tremendously (Up to 200%, by my estimates). I'm not sure if this is a bug in the demo, but I like it!

on horses: i like them. when you have a one handed weapon they work fine and seem to keep you from being hit as often. when you have the big two handed weapon you hold it with one hand and punch the ppl with the other. practical in my opinion.

horses + special moves != teh win.

cant do specials from horses(mostly)

horse can "charge" though and that does some damage but not much

horses i think i would only use for transportation. i usually jumped off it when i was attacked by 5+ beasties

im glad for them though. i havent seen horses in other games really. YOU CAN DECK OUT YOUR HORSE TOO in my game i could have bought a saddle which was leet but it was too expensive

Sword, actually, but still a very nice weapon for being such a low level.

I LIKE Axelgreese's shield! That sucker is pretty. And that blue glow on Victor's gladiator sword, is that there all the time or just from doing a combo? That's a pretty hefty sword to be sure. PGriff's gladiator looks all armored up, like an armadillo with big claws.

Ah well, I'm off to play the demo some more and come up with a cool looking seraphim.

You know, it's kind of weird. I've gotten more hours of play out of the Sacred demo than I have out of several full games that I've purchased.

Yes hon, I really do need the Athlon 64 X2 4400 and a GeForce 7600 video card to play my favorite roguelikes.

Doh.. You're right. I don't know what made me think it was an axe. I remembered the stats, just not the weapon itself. Probably becaise there have been several Gladiators with axes thusfar.

I'm kind of amazed I haven't seen more claw gladiators. The only problem I have with claw gladiators is that their Attack Combat Art isn't that impressive. It'll kill just about anything you run across in the demo with the exception of the minotaurs, but it only attacks one target. Oh well.

I uninstalled the demo so I would stop playing it, in hopes I wouldn't burn out on the starting area before the game came out. I reinstalled it to make the sample pictures and have been playing it through a few times since then. You're right, it's pretty addictive.
